ISO 14837-1:2005提供了轨道系统运行产生的地面振动以及建筑物中产生的地面噪声的一般指南。 它列出了需要考虑的因素和参数，并提供了适用于各种情况的预测方法指南（例如，除了评估建筑结构损坏风险所需的预测之外，还支持评估对人类居住者和建筑物内敏感设备或操作的影响）。 ISO 14837-1:2005关注源的特征:排放（例如火车、车轮、轨道、轨道、配套基础设施）； 传播路径:传输（例如地面条件、距离）；和接收结构:immission（例如基础、建筑结构形式）。 该指南涵盖了所有形式的轮轨系统，从轻轨到高速列车和货运。ISO 14837-1:2005为地面、高架结构和隧道中的铁路系统提供了指南。 它不处理铁路系统施工和维护引起的振动。它不处理空气中的噪音。高架结构的结构辐射噪声可能会对环境产生重大影响，也不包括在内。

ISO 14837-1:2005 provides general guidance on ground-borne vibration generated by the operation of rail systems, and the resultant ground-borne noise in buildings. It lists the factors and parameters that need to be taken into consideration and offers guidance on prediction methods appropriate for a range of circumstances (e.g. to support the assessment of effects on human occupants and sensitive equipment or operations inside the buildings in addition to the predictions required to assess the risk of damage to building structures). Attention is paid in ISO 14837-1:2005 to characteristics of the source: emission (e.g. train, wheel, rail, track, supporting infrastructure); propagation path: transmission (e.g. ground condition, distance); and receiving structures: immission: (e.g. foundations, form of building construction). The guidance covers all forms of wheel and rail systems, from light-rail to high-speed trains and freight. ISO 14837-1:2005 provides guidance for rail systems at-grade, on elevated structures and in tunnels. It does not deal with vibration arising from the construction and maintenance of the rail system. It does not deal with airborne noise. Structure-radiated noise from elevated structures, which can have a significant environmental impact, is also excluded.
